Script execution via unencoded Azure error parameter
Published Aug 26, 2024 · Updated Jul 5, 2026
Cross-site scripting in PicUploader commit fcf82ea allows remote attackers to run scripts through a crafted Azure callback. AzureRedirect.php echoes the error_description query parameter directly into its response without output encoding or filtering. Exploitation requires a user to open the crafted callback URL, allowing attacker-controlled content to execute in that user's browser context.
